Aurora R11, 120mm front fan bracket

Good evening, just wanted to drop in and let anyone who is interested know about my new 3D printed Alienware 120mm Front Fan Bracket I am finally reasonably confident is useful: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5675944

It fits my Alienware Aurora R11, and based on my rudimentary knowledge of the Alienware line, I THINK this would fit in an Aurora R9 to Aurora R12 unless there were changes along the way? Anyone who can confirm fitment in other R-series chassis please feel welcome to do so.

No idea if other such designs already exist, but my 15 seconds of previous fame revolved around the XPS 8940 fan bracket which seemed to be quote popular so I continued down the fan bracket path blindly. I will say that this one is a touch more fragile due to the unfortunate alignment of the mounting slots and fan mount holes.

Always interested to hear if anyone makes/gets made one of these but as with the last bracket I don't really have plans to make and sell these myself. Unfortunately Canadian shipping costs basically make it impossible to break even, never mind make any profit on low volume 3D printed one-offs. If someone wants to buy in bulk let me know but for most folks there are more affordable alternatives than me.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing how this works out for people!
